Me and the bf had stayed here for quite a long time about 13 days back in November. Location is good and is walkable to the main area of Waikiki. When we arrived we noticed there wasn’t a microwave in the room and asked if we could receive one in the beginning of the trip and also an extra luggage holder since we will be staying there for an extended amount of time, sadly we didn’t received any of these things even though we had asked a couple times. The room itself was nice and clean but definitely a little cramped. We had a corner room with the lanai that was L shaped so that was awesome to have views of the mountains and partial view of ocean/city. The pool area was nice and they offered food and drinks to purchase at the pool. They also had some amenities like free beach chairs or beach items that you could rent from beach candy which was on the opposite side of Waikiki but you had to return it before they closed which was 5pm. It would’ve been a great perk if the hotel itself had beach chairs to lend out. At the time their gym was under construction so we had to walk 15-20mins to Alohilani resort to use their gym which was fine because their gym was super nice. Overall I would probably stay here if my stay was shorter but long term (ie. more than 7 days) I would probably choose somewhere that had a little more space and microwave.

Why is there no ice machine for guest to get ice? I had to text daily to get ice and 3/4 times it took almost 1 hr for my ice to get to me. Also when I tried to call the front desk to ask about my ice, the phone in the room is not working and my text was unanswered 2x in a span of over an hour! So frustrating! The room says free coffee downstairs. nope!! Not free! Expedia says free bike…NOPE! No bikes! I would not stay here again.

We had a lovely time during our stay at the Romer. The old Ambassador hotel has been refurbished into a neighborhood gem. There was a lot of time and effort put into this transformation and the result is a taste of old Hawai’i—how refreshing to see. We wish this was more of a theme in Waikiki. There were a few minor issues that we noticed during our stay. One, there wasn’t a decent sized trash/rubbish bin in our rooms. Only tiny small ones in the bath. This made it difficult for us to dispose of our larger items. Luckily, we were right next to the trash chute so we were able to throw larger things away without too much hassle, however, it would have been nice to have a large rubbish bin in our room for the convenience. Secondly, my husband went for a swim in the pool in the morning and came face to face with a floating half eaten slice of pizza. Not sure what to say there, but pretty gross. Third, the bathroom was extremely noisy. The vent/dehumidifier was on 24/7 with no way of turning it off. We could hear it from most areas throughout, but still a minor issue considering. Other than those three things, we had a lovely stay. The staff was excellent and so very welcoming. The common areas were lovely and comfortable. A great place to relax while enjoying your surroundings. We look forward to returning in the future and will spread the word in the meantime.

Just what we were looking for. Close to everything but just enough on the fringe to not be in the middle of the all the crowds. Great views of the area and ocean.

Three of the soap bottles were empty when we arrived in the room, and there was no drinking water so we had to wait around 30 minutes before staff were able to bring us some. The AC broke, and the TV was not working. I found rings i had placed on a bathroom shelf to be on the bathroom floor after room service came through. One of our garbages was not taken out after cleaning and no bag replacement. They no longer have free coffee which is one of the main points on expedia. Otherwise it was nice!

The Romer was very nice for the price. We had a few minor problems and the staff fixed them immediately. Everyone was very friendly. The room was clean and in a great location. Only complaint was there was only one sheet on the bed and a comforter. We would have liked to have a second sheet below the comforter.
